During these years while you are in college, you are supposed to be having experiences and discovering who you are. I think it would be good for you to focus less on your mother and enjoy this time of your life before it passes you by. College kids, for the most part, don't invite their mothers to go out with them.

Actually, when I was in college my very difficult mother 'disowned' me and was never going to speak to me again because I went out with a friend at 11 p.m. one night when she said I couldn't.

I have kids in college right now. I want them to learn and enjoy themselves. Don't let her suck the life out of you. You are a good child to care so much.
